There are two types of batteries installed in your vehicle: a drive battery for operating the
motor (electric motor unit) and air condition-
ing as well as an auxiliary battery for starting the Plug-in Hybrid EV system and operatingthe lamps, wipers, etc.
This chapter explains charging of the drive battery.NOTEl The auxiliary battery is automatically charg-
ed while the ready indicator is illuminated orduring charge for the drive battery.
Refer to “Ready indicator” on page 6-44.
l If the auxiliary battery is flat, the Plug-in
Hybrid EV system cannot be started.Refer to “Emergency starting” on page
9-02.Basic knowledge for
charging E08300201168
There are two types of charging: normalcharging and quick charging.
Normal charging is performed through the on
board charger using rated AC 220-240V out-
let as the power source
The rated AC voltage may differ from coun-
try to country.

If the charging indicator is not illumina-
ted, charging is not started.
Follow the manual of each quick charg-
er.
NOTEl When the quick charge connector is connec-
ted to the charge port, the charging indicator
is blinking. When charging is started, the charging indicator is illuminated.NOTEl If you want to confirm the drive battery level
during charging, open one of the doors or operate the multi information display switch, the drive battery level display (F) appears in
the multi information display.
Although the predicted charging time dis- play (G) blinks, the charging time for thequick charging is about 30 minutes and dis-
played “--:--” in the screen and you cannot confirm the remaining charging time.
l Operation noise may be heard from the vehi-
cle body during quick charging.
This noise comes from the operation of the drive battery cooling system, and it is not a malfunction.
l Since the drive battery cooling system uses
cool air of the air conditioning, the air condi-tioning is automatically operated.
After quick charging, if the area under the vehicle is wet, transparent and loose, it is de- humidified water from the air conditioning
and not a malfunction.
7. Charging is complete when the charging
indicator turns off.
Disconnect the quick charge connector according to the manual of the quick
charger.
CAUTIONl As the quick charge connector is heavier in
comparison to the normal charge connector, allowing it to drop could cause damage to
the vehicle or charge connector or personal injury. When removing the connector, besure to pull it out straight and as carefully as
possible.
l Do not leave the quick charge connector
connected to the quick charge port after charging.
Doing so, someone might stumble and it
could cause an injury or the quick charge port might be damaged by playing it.NOTEl Although it is possible to start the electric
motor unit if quick charging has not finishednormally, the charging indicator is continu-
ously blinking. In such a situation, perform quick charging again and finish it normally
or contact a MITSUBISHI MOTORS Au-
thorized Service Point.
8. Close the inner lid and press the rear of
the normal charging lid until it clicks to close it.

WARNINGlDo not use the
MITSUBISHI Remote
Control if children, persons in need of care, pets, etc. are in the vehicle. Even if the remote climate control is used, thecabin may become hot or cold due to somereasons such as automatic stop of the sys-
tem. The cabin temperature may quickly
rise in sunshine, which poses a risk of heat
stroke and dehydration. In cold weather, on the other hand, the cabin temperature
may quickly drop. Either of which could lead to death in the worst case.
l The cooling fan in the engine compart-
ment may operate automatically when
charging or when operating air condition- er. Do not bring your hand close to the
cooling fan during charging.CAUTIONl Do not use a car cover except for the
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE car
cover, when using the timer charging or the remote climate control.NOTEl Keep the following points in mind when us-
ing a wireless LAN device:NOTE• Communication speed and range vary de-
pending on the wireless LAN devices and the surrounding conditions (radio environ-
ment, obstacles, parking area environ- ment, etc.).
• Due to the characteristics of radio waves,
communication speed tends to decrease as the communication distance increases.
Use your wireless LAN device at a short
distance from the vehicle for better re-
sponse.
• When a microwave oven or ISM (indus-
trial, scientific and medical) equipment is being used, the communication speed and
range of wireless LAN devices may de- crease. Use your wireless LAN device
away from these appliances and equip-
ment.
• If a wireless LAN device and Bluetooth
(registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.) are used simultaneously, the com-
munication speed and range of each de- vice may decrease. Use your wireless
LAN device away from Bluetooth devi- ces.
l Wireless LAN devices may not communi-
cate with the vehicle, or may not operate
normally or stably in the following environ- ment or situations. Check that the device cancommunicate with your vehicle before use.
• There is an obstruction such as a concrete
or metal wall between the vehicle and
wireless LAN device.NOTE• The vehicle is surrounded by tall vehicles
in a parking lot.
• There are facilities nearby that emit strong
radio waves, such as a TV tower, trans-
former substation, broadcasting station or
airport.
• There is a communication device such as
a mobile phone or radio, or an electric de- vice such as a personal computer near the
wireless LAN device.
• The wireless LAN device is in contact
with or covered by a metal object.
• The battery of the wireless LAN device
has run down.
l The
MITSUBISHI Remote Control cannot
be used under the following conditions:
• The wireless LAN device is turned off.
• The
MITSUBISHI Remote Control appli-
cation software is not installed.
• The
MITSUBISHI Remote Control appli-
cation software is not running.
• The wireless LAN device is not registered
on the vehicle or it is not connected to the
vehicle.
• The wireless LAN device is out of the
communication range.
• The wireless LAN device is connected to
other wireless LAN device.
• The wireless LAN device has failed, or its
battery has run out.

NOTElSome charging facilities have a timer func-
tion that turns the power on or off at a spe-
cific time of the day. When charging at a fa- cility with a timer function, make sure that the charging timer is set within the time peri-
od when the power in the charging facility is
on.
l The auxiliary battery is automatically and
periodically charged using electrical power
stored in the drive battery.
l While the remote climate control is operat-
ing or the charging, the cooling fan or air conditioner compressor may start operating and its sound may be heard. This is normal.
l The remote climate control operates in its
own mode based on the mode selected on
the wireless LAN device, regardless of the switch setting of the vehicle’s air condition-
er.
l Air conditioning performance may deterio-
rate or the remaining charge in the drive bat-tery may decrease under the following con-
ditions:
• In extremely hot weather.
• In hot sunshine.
• In extremely cold weather.
l If the remote climate control is started dur-
ing charging, the time until full charge may extend or the charging rate may decrease.
l When the remaining quantity of the drive
battery is decreased, the remote climate con-
trol does not operate or it may stop on the way.NOTEl When the auxiliary battery is removed, the
timer control of the MITSUBISHI Remote
Control is reset and each function of the MITSUBISHI Remote Control can not be
used. Also the drive battery can not be warmed up.
Communicate the wireless LAN device and
your vehicle again.

Only when the operation mode of the powerswitch is in ON, the airbags will operate.The airbags deployment produces a sudden,
loud noise, and releases some smoke and powder, but these conditions are not injuri- ous, and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
People with respiratory problems may feel
some temporary irritation from chemicals used to produce the deployment; open the
windows after airbag deployment, if safe to
do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after deploy- ment, so there is little danger of obscured vi-
sion.CAUTIONl Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid speed.
In certain situations, contact with inflatingairbags can result in abrasions, bruises, light
cuts, and the like.WARNINGl IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED.
A driver or front passenger too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel
during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured.
Airbags inflate very fast, and with great force.
If the driver and front passenger are not
properly seated and restrained, the air-
bags may not protect you properly, and could cause serious or fatal injuries whenit inflates.
l Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or sit
with your lower legs too close to the in-
strument panel, or lean head or chest close to the steering wheel or instrument panel. Do not put feet or legs on or againstthe instrument panel.
l Place all infants and small children in the
rear seat and properly restrained using an
appropriate child restraint system.
The rear seat is the safest place for infants
and children.WARNINGl Infants and small children should never
be unrestrained, stand up against the in-strument panel or be held in your arms or on your lap. They could be seriously in-jured or killed in a collision, including when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in the rear seat in an ap- propriate child restraint system. See the
“Child restraint” section of this owner’s
manual.

The driver’s airbag and the front passenger’sairbag are designed to inflate at the same
time even if the passenger seat is not occu- pied.Driver’s knee airbag system
E00412401104
The driver’s knee airbag is located under the steering wheel. The driver’s knee airbag is
designed to deploy at the same time as the driver’s front airbag.
Deployment of front airbags
and driver’s knee airbag
E00407502700
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag ARE DESIGNED
TO DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag are
designed to deploy when the vehicle suffers a moderate-to-severe frontal impact. The typi-
cal condition is shown in the illustration.
1- Head-on collision with a solid wall at a speed of approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) or higher
2- Moderate-to-severe frontal impact with- in the shaded area between the arrows
The front airbags and driver’s knee airbag
will deploy if the severity of the impact is above the designed threshold level, compara-ble to a collision at approximately 25 km/h
(16 mph) when impacting straight into a solid
wall that does not move or deform. If the se-
verity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the front airbags and driver’s knee airbag may not deploy. However, this
threshold speed will be considerably higher if
the vehicle strikes an object that absorbs the impact by either deforming or moving (for
example, another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily move you out of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat belts will help keep you a safe distance from thesteering wheel and instrument panel during
the initial stages of airbag deployment. The
initial stage of airbag inflation is the most forceful, and can possibly cause serious or fa-tal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts in your
vehicle are your primary means of protection
in a collision. The SRS airbags are designed to provide additional protection. Therefore,
for your safety and the safety of all occu- pants, be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.
